New York Legalizes Gay Marriage



Gay marriage has always been a touchy subject. It's only legal in a few states MA, CT, IA, VT, & NH, but New York Govenor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill in to law late last Friday night that will allow gay couples to marry. New York is now the sixth and largest state to recognize same sex marriage. This now doubles the number of Americans who are eligible for legal gay marriages. Gay couples will be able to wed in New York as soon as July 24th of this year.

The success of the bill is due in part to two Republican Senators who declared their stance on the matter in the 11th hour. In a statement to the Associated Press, Senator Stephen Saland, who voted against a similar bill in 2009, said ”While I understand that my vote will disappoint many, I also know my vote is a vote of conscience.” Freshman Senator Mark Grisanti of Buffalo echoed Saland’s sentiments: ”I apologize to those I offend. But I believe you can be wiser today than yesterday. I believe this state needs to provide equal rights and protections for all its residents,” he said.

Are you against gay marriage? Or do you think it's about time other states start legalizing it?

Inside Out Burger


A twist on your normal burger. Instead of plain burgers with topping, just take the toppings & stuff them inside of the burger before cooking. The possibilities are endless.

Recipe:
1 1/2 pound ground beef, turkey, or venison (or a blend)
1/4 to 1/2 cup crumbled bacon (if desired)
1/2 to 3/4 cup of assorted “insides”, (such as cheese and veggies) chopped, crumbled, or diced fine
6 Hamburger Buns and Hamburger toppings

1. start out by placing crumbled bacon directly in the ground meat, mixing it in with the ground meat allows to put more stuff in the middle.
2. Mix ground meat and crumbled bacon (to taste) until the bacon is evenly distributed.
3. Using clean hands, make twelve 2 ounce balls of hamburger.
4. take one of the balls of hamburger & flatten
5. Place 1 1/2 tablespoons to 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of the burger.
6. Place another hamburger ball over the top of the filling & push down again.
7. & COOK! Cook these in a pan or on the grill. An electric grill is easier because it does not require turning the burgers. If you do not use an electric grill, cook these until half done, flip them over and let them finish. Do not repeatedly flip, flip, flip because they will fall apart.
8. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments & side dishes & ENJOY.

QOTD: Is Spanking Discipline, or Straight up Abuse?

Spare the rod, Spoil the child. What's your take?

Is spanking an effective method of discipline for kids? Is it a good idea? Does it really work? A judge in Texas told a woman in his courtroom "You don't spank children today." This was after the woman, Rosalina Gonzales plead guilty to "injury to a child" a felony charge. She was arrested in December when the paternal grandmother of her 2yr old daughter noticed some marks on her legs & decided to take her to the hospital. Gonzales didn't spank with a belt, or leave any bruises, but she was sentenced to 5 yrs probation & parenting classes.

Is that fair? What's your opinion on spanking? Is it discipline, or just straight up abuse?

Young Jeezy ft Lil Wayne Ballin


Take It For What it Is...

Embrace your beauty…and your booty if you have much of that too
This is something that every women must do
Cover your ears, and blind your eyes
When you hear people talk and point about your beautiful shapely thighs
Always remember those will talk and complain about what they may not have
Because at the end of the day, what they really want to say is damn…she’s bad
Arch you back and put a little pep in your step
Because you'll surely make them see things that they are bound not to forget
Smile a little more when they laugh and when they stare
Maybe it’s you eyes, your body, your mystic, your skin, maybe even your hair
All these things that they are so envious and jealous of
Girl don’t hide it, don’t be ashamed!
Flaunt it, love it ,embrace it

remember...

the more you push, the heavier the burdens.
the more you complain, the weaker you get.
the more you wait around, the less time you have to reach your destination.
the more you rely on people to help you out, disappointment becomes your best friend.
fact is, nothing will get you to your destination....

than your own determination.

Here's to the Start of Summer!

Summer

I like hot days, hot days

Sweat is what you got days

Bugs buzzin from cousin to cousin

Juices dripping

Running and ripping

Catch the one you love days

Birds peeping

Old men sleeping

Lazy days, daisies lay

Beaming and dreaming

Of hot days, hot days,

Sweat is what you got days.

Cell Phones May Cause Cancer?








After years of debate, World Health Organization (WHO) recently came to a conclusion that cell phone usage may pose a risk for brain cancer in humans. It was labeled a risk "2B" level, which consists of a long list of potential carcinogens, including items such as gasoline, coffee & picked vegetables.

Those are somethings we interact with on a daily level, so are they trying to say exposure to those things put you at risk for cancer? Do you believe talking on YOUR cellphone may put YOU at risk??

Scottie Pippen's comment on LeBron

All right, so lately the internet and sports worlds have been going around talking about the comment that Scottie Pippen said about LeBron James. Stating that LeBron James may possibly being better than Michael Jordan.


Well finally, we have Lebron's responds towards this whole situation.

“Mike was an unbelievable player,” James said Saturday. “I got a long way, long way to be mentioned as one of the all-time greats. Not even just Jordan – there are a lot of great players who have played in this league: Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and all these guys that are floating around with multiple rings. Bill Russell. All of these guys who have pioneered the game for me and [Dwayne Wade]

“I’m gracious, humbled by Scottie’s comments with him being a teammate of his and seeing Michael on a day-to-day basis. But as far as me? I don’t know. I’m not going to sit here and say I’m better than Jordan or if I’m not better than Jordan. It's not about that.”

In my opinion, that was a humble(slash) cocky response. "I'm Not going to sit here and say I'M better than Jordan 'OR' if I'm 'NOT' better that Jordan. -___- he messed up with that extra that he threw in there. Lets see what Jordan thinks.

Rapper: Kreayshawn Tweets the "N-word"



"And we stunting like
Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada
Basic bitches wear that shit, so I don't even bother"

Rapper newbie "Kreayshawn" just recently hit the blog & twitter world with her new song "Gucci Gucci" & with over 850k YouTube hits, it's definitely quickly getting recognized. Kreayshawn is known to associate with Souljah Boy and she's down with Odd Future, but after Snoop Dogg told her to contact him via direct message, she excitedly tweeted:


It makes you wonder, does being in the "hip hop" industry give white people the ok to use the N-word?

Popular white rapper Eminem made it his duty to avoid the racial slur & when asked why, he said :
"If a white kid came up to me and said it, I probably would look at him funny. And given the time to sit down with him I'd say, 'Look, just don't say the word. It's not meant to be used by us.'"


What's your opinion? I'm pretty sure people will still be listening to Kreayshawn despite her use of the racial slur, seeing as her song is pretty catchy & they enjoy her music. But, is it ok for white people to use the N-word? Is it pretty much becoming socially acceptable?

Little Girls

Little girls, little girls, we have yet to find out who we are,
We have yet to understand where this life will take us and just how far...
Little girls, little girls...we want fairy tale endings, like Cinderella Rapunzel and that bitch that ended up with the beast...
Little girls, little girls, were all products of our environment and the streets.
Little girls, little girls we have got to make a name, not no sh*** like Coca, Mizz Pretty and Butter no, no that shit is lame
Little girls, little girls, we have got to have other things on our minds not a ni*** getting up on his swagga and filling yah head up with his BS games and wack lines
Little girls, little girls, we have yet to inhale our worth and stomach our intelligence, let alone embrace our beauty,
But you'll look up to a B*** with a big booty...
or you'll spend yah money
on remi hair weaves that come in colors like red wine and brown honey
Little girls, little girls, where have all the good little girls gone... I hope back to daddy so he can cradle her in his arms.....
Tell you that there's this more to life then what the media allows you to see
And that I'm a push you to be want you want to be...
I'm a show you the in outs out of this cruel and uncomfortable world....for I'm yah father and you are forever my little girl...

summer stuff for now.

Summer, Summer, Summertime


time to sit back & unwind...

Will Smith said it best. As the weather starts to warm up, you can't help but think summer is right around the corner & it is definitely time to sit back & unwind. We aren't ballin' like celebs & can't afford the lavish trips out to San Tropez & Cannes, but we can enjoy our summer vacation.

Of course, there's the typical trips to the zoo with our families, going to parks, bbq's are a must & fun in the sun at the beach. This summer, try to break out of the norm, research local hot spots around your town & explore. You may find a hidden gem or two. Visit new restaurants to try out new foods & drinks. You can also visit neighboring cities or states, see what they have to offer..who knows you just might have some fun!

What will YOU be doing this summer?

#R.I.P Montae "M-BONE" Talbert


22 year old rapper Montae Talbert, (stage name M-Bone) from rap group 'Cali Swag District', was shot and killed last night in his neighborhood in Inglewood, California in front of a local liquor store. He died in the hospital due to the wounds. Talbert and his group are known for their hit single "teach me how to Dougie". Sad to know that he will never dougie again. SMH

Osama's mistress (Kola Boof) speaks to the public

"I rarely ever talk about Somi, but for the last two days on Twitter, something
came over me and I did nothing but Tweet about him.

Now I know why.

At last....I forgive Somi for everything he did to me and for all that I witnessed. I set him free and I dream for him to be healed.

My greatest sympathy is with his mother, Hamida, the only person in that family who is willing to hear from me. One mother to another, I close my eyes and embrace her with so much compassion.

I feel that no one has more accurately and fairly characterized her son than I have. I knew him to be a monster, a genius, a poet, a racist woman-basher and a very passionate, deeply sensitive confused being.

Like all of us, he was somebody's child.

I am not God, so I leave him to whatever comes next. I still have his poems and each year they have a different meaning. But now the papers are cool to the touch. I feel many things...things that people would not understand...I look at the gray hair I have...and all I can tell you is this....

Usama, Usama, Usama--Peace."

Monday Motivation: the Power of Thoughts

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind. Your own worst enemy can not harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. But once mastered, no one can help you as much.
-Buddha

All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct results of your thoughts. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
-James Allen

A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes.
-M. Gandhi

Don't bury your thoughts. Wake up and live!
- Bob Marley


As we begin this week lets remember that a positive mind is key with the constant hustle & bustle of the fast pace lives we're living. Doesn't matter what your current circumstances are, expect only the best & you will get just that. Don't expect a change overnight, it'll take some time, but eventually they will come through. A positive mind set will help you anticipate only the best things life has to offer. Think Positive!

Untitled

She said her name was
My heart fluttered at the first 4
We first met halfway eyes locked in anticipation of a game that instantly stroke as fast as the lash of her lid
A vision of falling as we gazed
Her every breath took my own as I ventured further exploring deep inside
She said her name was
Her virtue was my own as we spread the possibilities of it's warm embrace
Just to start only licking the surface each touch discovered new movement
A sight good enough to eat
Every section defined yet complex
Each lick a taste of heaven
I bite as she explodes screaming
Now sharing my heart flutters at the first 4
She said her name was
She stutters as I push deeper, hand firmly entangled in her hair as i now turn these insides out
One last kiss and she whispers I'm yours
She said her name was
LOVE-Y
